People bought the PS3 because of its wide variety of games. Same reason PS4 sold very well despite having no noteworthy exclusives until Uncharted 4 or why people buy Xbox One despite having virtually no noteworthy exclusives.

I would get pissed off because I could skip Wii U, buy Switch and get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and not have to double dip. And there is nothing worse than double dipping. What happened to just buy games once? Imagine if people double dipped at the time, Shenmue would actually make a profit...

But didn't you like Mario Kart 8 the first time around? Why would you need to double dip? I bought Gravity Rush on psvita and then it came out on ps4, several years later. I don't have to double dip. I might do so because I liked the game so much, but I definitely don't have to. And I'm glad I got to play it then instead of having to wait so many years for the arguably better version. Even if someone where to tell me in 2012 that there would be a much better version coming out on ps4 in 2016, I wouldn't have wanted to wait.

If you want a proper battle mode you have to buy Mario Kart 8 DX, even if you already have Mario Kart. And I am not an impatient person, I would rather wait a couple of years to buy a game with extra content than to buy an incomplete game early. I bought Wii U for exclusives, not incomplete Switch games, and I think most people who bought the Wii U bought it for exclusives as well.
